Fresco quotes

I just watched the montage from the Fresco interview (below) and there's some of his better lines included. His take on competitive society mirrors my own: "Competition is dangerous, socially offensive, considered right and normal because you are brought up to that value system. What kind of competition did Jesus have?"

In discussing transportation (and cars and their safety measures as an analogy for our society and its laws and other guidance): "They are designed by cerebral insufficients! ... Eliminate cars and design a holistic transportation system."

In the end:

Larry King: No control of the population?
Jacque Fresco: Population control is dependent upon education. We feel an educated public needs no control.

I love the pairing of "holistic" and "transportation," or any technology. And I've got to remember to refer to people as "cerebrally insufficient." The man is an awesome Vulcan (with Spock's compassion).
